Rule Change (New Staff Power)

[Cyberman]

Very true.

And I'd love to watch the annoying little fuckers explode.

For you:

Poor telly tubbies D:

Don't waste your sympathy; the teletubbies are far more sinister than you can imagine:

The Teletubbies are the direct descendants of genetically-engineered soldiers, bred to fight during the apocalyptic wars which wiped civilisation from the face of the planet.

Those furry little bastards!

Thanks for the backhanded compliment I suppose.

I'll give you a ?fronthanded compliment - I love the way you fight so hard for your principles I wish I had your strength.

I'd give Napo a front handed compliment but I fear it'd result in me being temp banned if I do it here

I don’t see this option as negating the rules.

If a person is continually disruptive, what do you do, make up a new rule for them? That would make the rulebook as thick as the unabridged Oxford Family dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. That would make things more, not less, confusing.

As for the ignore function, it leaves a notation in the thread every time someone you’ve blocked leaves a post. This also is disruptive when a person leaves posts just to hi jack a thread.

So I approve of the power the staff has to protect our users from people who come here just to disrupt.

If your intention is to disrupt that is trolling and against the rules. Right?

[Angrboda]

Wow. The rules have grown considerably since I lasted looked at them. They might benefit from a hotlinked table of contents. The 30/30 rule has been pushed so far down that a new user may never see it. Just a suggestion, but putting the 30/30 rule at the top with some note like "New user rule" instead of 30/30 might end up having it more likely to be read and heeded by noobs.

I would think so.

Some people are disruptive and have managed to get around, and remain members, by skirting the rules: just touching on the fringe of violating the current rules without actually stepping over the line.

I suspect that is seldom intentional. I think some people just naturally have a set point which is in that range. It not necessarily being intentional makes arbitrating it difficult.
